Why does this site get spammed back to the stone age every night?

It’s not a very good sign to potential users that the main bbPress site has no control over spammers and gets three pages of spam every night. How about installing Akismet or one of the other spam-blockers?

I can assure you, Akismet is installed and running. The problem is that we get hit so incredibly hard all day long, that the small percentage that make it through is still considerably large and very annoying.

more mods to clean it up regularly would be good too, there are currently over 70 spam posts from just one user borking the first 5 pages of this forum and they have been there for about 12 hours, all forums are prone to be spammed but this is a bit much…
